I told some people on MSN already, I'd like to organise a Civ3 LAN playing day on my company LAN after my summer holiday (end of july or august).

My office is located in Veenendaal (that's halfway
Utrecht and Arnhem). I'd like to know if some of you would be interested before I start any preparations and discover noone's interested.

I'd be interested, but as it looks I will be gone most of Julay and August..... :(

Funny I had exactly the same idea a few months ago and was waiting for a better patch to MP.
My offices are in Amsterdam Schiphol :)

I would be interested.

Maybe we could couple this idea with that one :
Amsterdam CDZ RL reunion

Could get quite some people actually, how many can you take ?

We're just a small firm. I 've got LAN sockets for 8 pc's. I got space for 8 more people, but no LAN stuff, but that can be organised.\

So I can host 16 people I guess (100 m2 total office space should be enough for that)

Sounds good enough for me :)
We are on 3 floors with the one I would rather use with 9 PCs already LANed.
If more we would need to be on 2 separate floors which is not fun anymore.
So let's go for Veenendaal : is your office far from the Train station ?

Will your co-worker keep the coffee supply up and running? ;)

Hm, in case you missed it, PP's co-worker is a male who has "cleaning out my robosuck" as signature.
So, no.

Is that Erik's sig? No, I meant swingue.

hehe, you should check the anarres vs. Mel spoiler thread in anarres'forum. There's a small spam war between me and Swingue in there. Swingues sig used to be like shabba said, cuz I changed it (hand of admin spell) when I also changed is nick in Swingue the Wanker. Al that has been reversed now.

On the coffee. We have an excellent espresso machine: water left, beans right. Press button, beans get grinded, a fresh cup of coffee is made.....

On our office space: we're on one floor but we have 3 different rooms.

@shabba, see the PayPal discussion for erik and the robosuckj reference. An amazing coincedence after the sig incident :D

I know the Robosuck from a sex magazine some friends of mine had in their student appartment. They lived in it as they do in the comic serie "The young ones" (VPRO). The appartment was in a flat that would be torn down within some years.

Anyway the RoboSuck was a running gag for years! The add said something like that if you got bored in your car in the usual traffic jam, the robosuck would be excellent to kill some time. Just stick it betwwen your legs and go! Next to the add was a pic of a guy in his car behind the wheel. [lol] I was very suprised by PP's knowledge of the RoboSuck!!!! [hmm]

All this RoboSuck knowledge from everyone is indeed pretty suspicious... [hmm]

In my student fraternity it was also a classic running gag. Probably the same Pabo mail order guide add that triggered it :D In the end we even ordered one as birthday present for someone.

Hey, who doesn't know about the RoboSuck? It's an urban legend!

ALthough I'd love to chat a bit more on the RoboSuck issue, I suggest we take that to a different OT thread and get this one back on track :

If you wanna Civ on LAN, Let me know!
